How To Organize An Unofficial Beer Mile Run

Perhaps you’ve noticed the rising popularity of Beer Mile Runs? Seems as though running and beer drinking are quite pairing these days with many races offering post race beers. Our MRTT group planned a Beer Mile run last night as a going away party for one of our long time members. It was such a fun and different event for us and I thought it would be interesting to share the details with you all. Perhaps you might decide to Organize your own Unofficial Beer Mile Run.

First a bit of info on a traditional Beer Mile Run:

The most common format of a Beer Mile Run is for each participant to drink a full sized beer, run 1/4 mile and then repeat 3x for a total of 4 beers consumed and 1 mile run. The beer has to stay in for it to count i.e. no throwing up. There are actually stats and records for official beer mile runs. Men’s Journal even has a real training plan. Go figure!

For purposes of our Unofficial Beer Mile Run, we have a few categories:

We are using a lap around a neighborhood street that is about 1/3 of a mile. 3 laps around equaling about a mile.

-Traditional Beer Mile (3 beers over 1 mile)

-Relay Team (3 runners each drinking 1 beer for a lap)

-Lightweight (drink 1/3 of a beer each lap for a total of 1 full beer run)

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.

I’ve always been intrigued by the beer mile but I’ve never done it before. This is an awesome way to plan one locally and it seems easy enough to plan – thanks!Kimberly recently posted…5 Reasons to Try Nuzest Protein Powder

Ha! This sounds like a blast! I’m not a beer drinker either…I can do the hard ciders, etc. though. I have a ‘mini” city block across the street that is about 1/3 of a mile in distance….hmmm….this just might have to happen 😉Kimberly Hatting recently posted…TLC of the Knee

This actually does sound like a fun idea. We have a group going to a race in the fall, and we try to get together every once in a while. Hmmm . . . I don’t drink at all, and I especially don’t like beer! Yuck! I don’t even like the smell.

I like the alternative beer runs you presented, drinking four beers and running a mile is just never gonna happen for me, especially if I’m having BBQ afterward! A virgin beer run with really interesting refreshments could be a thing!Mary @ Fit and Fed recently posted…Chocolate Raspberry Bar with Freeze-dried Raspberries
